Myths in Korean Morphology and Their Computational Implications

This paper examines some popular misanalyses in Korean morphology.For example, contrary to popular myth, the verbal ha-and the element -(nu)n-cannot be analyzed as a derivational affix and as a present tense marker, respectively.We will see that ha-is an independent word and that -(nu)n-is part of a portmanteau morph.In providing reasonable analyses of them, we will consider some computational implications of the misanalyses.It is really mysterious that such wrong analyses can become so popular in a scientific field of linguistics.
